We are also going to have partly cloudy skies and cool/chilly temperatures tonight as lows are going to be in the mid to upper 30s and low to mid 40s.

For tomorrow, we are going to have partly to mostly cloudy skies with some isolated showers around, generally in locations east of I-15, as a weak disturbance passes through our area.

A frost/freeze is then expected in a lot of locations tomorrow night/Friday morning as lows are going to be in the 20s and low to mid 30s, and this frost/freeze is going to bring an end to the growing season for many locations.

We are also going to have mostly to mainly sunny skies and dry conditions on Friday.

Lots of sunshine and dry conditions are then expected this weekend, and mostly sunny skies and dry conditions are expected on Monday as an upper-level ridge is going to be in control of our weather. We are also going to have above average temperatures for this time of year on these three days as highs are going to be in the 70s in a lot of locations, and a few spots may even top out in the low 80s. It is also going to be a little bit breezy on Sunday as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 5 and 20 mph, and it is going to be breezy on Monday as sustained wind speeds are going to be between 10 and 20 mph.
